In Russia, developed projects of heavy ekranoplanes to fight fires

In Russia, there are already developed projects of heavy ekranoplanes that could effectively deal with forest and other major fires. This was announced by the general designer of the Central Design Bureau for hydrofoil ships to them. R. E. Alekseeva George Antsev.

unfinished ekranoplan "Rescuer" (C-33) of the project 09037 photo 2016 of the year

According to Antsev, currently there are several proposals for the construction of ekranoplanes of the Rescuer series, which could be used to extinguish large forest and other fires. The advantage of such an aircraft is its ability to take on board up to 200 tons of water, while the IL-76 raises only 40 tons. In terms of the amount of water discharged, one “Salvator” flight will be equal to five sorties of the Il-76 or 17 - Be-200 amphibious aircraft.

If we talk about fires, we have serious work on the development of the ekranoplan "Rescuer", where we go to tonnages from 500 to 700 tons. We have a series of proposals for the construction of ekranoplanes, where you can already talk about the tasks of fire fighting

- he said.

Antsev also explained that using an ekranoplane as a fire extinguishing means saves time - he is able to draw water directly from rivers and lakes, and not to pump from fire engines at airfields. In addition, the ekranoplan is unpretentious to places of temporary parking, it can be based directly on the water or go ashore with a slight slope.

At the same time, he emphasized that the ekranoplans will not become a panacea for extinguishing fires, but they can become an effective tool for localizing large foci of fires.

[Gray brother]

What is the terrain? Is it too dangerous to use such equipment in smoke conditions?
After all, even planes, sometimes, fight on the slopes, and they fly higher.

[Mooh]

Depends on the design. There are clean ekranoplanes, and there are ekranopletes that can go above the screen. Here, most likely, this is an ekranolet, the screen effect over a burning forest will be extremely doubtful.
Well, or is it generally a PR of pure water and Aleksey residents simply decided to remind themselves against the background of a fire hype

[Gray brother]

Quote: MooH

There are clean ekranoplanes, and there are ekranopleta,

The ekranolet is VVA-14, and the Rescuer is a pure ekranoplan.

[g1washntwn]

Exactly. They even cut off the "wings" of the moon (see photo) so that it would not fly high. In fact, it became a high-speed yacht and a hospital in one bottle. In order for him to be able to extinguish something, he needs to become an airplane, no more, no less.

[Gray brother]

Quote: g1washntwn

Exactly.

For the sake of truthfulness, I want to note that the VVA-14 was originally conceived as an airplane with inflatable floats and tormented him for a long time, then they tried to remake it into an ekranolet, but to no avail which completely destroyed the car.

[heel]

VVA-14, originally, was conceived by R.L. Bartini as a vertical take-off amphibian. Due to the lack of engines, it was converted to a 14M1P ekranolet ... Catching up in Monino ...

[Gray brother]

Quote: tacon

Due to the lack of engines redone in ekranolet

The ekranoleta did not work because the engines located in the tail blew air from under the bottom towards the nose. I did not see a vertical take-off.

At 1:17:00 you can see how it looked.

[heel]

And who says that it turned out ekranolet (ekranoplan)?
Be careful when reading comments!

[KrolikZanuda]

The wings are removed and mounted on the body in the transport position.

[NEXUS]

Quote: g1washntwn

So that he can put out something he needs to become an airplane,

Not by plane, but by SCREEN.

[Mooh]

Quote: Gray Brother

"Rescuer" is a pure ekranoplan.

we have serious work on development ekranoplan "Rescuer"

Lifeguard - yes. And what they have in their projects is unknown.

Quote: g1washntwn

Exactly. The moon was even clipped "wings" (see photo)

This unfinished "Rescuer" wings of the finished fire version may differ significantly from what is shown in the photo.

[Chaldon48]

In my opinion, this is a very dangerous undertaking, as there was no need to send rescue expeditions in search of these "Rescuers", or rather what was left of them.

this rescuer stands at the shipyard, on the territory of Krasnoye Sormovo since Shoigu was still the Minister of Emergency Situations ... stands at 80% readiness ... at that time Shoigu refused him (he was imprisoned to save those in distress at sea) ... .there are both morgues and surgery .... now they want to sell it because it is like an anchor for a plant, though Krasnoye Sormovo split into 2 factories ... here it stands on the second .... in 2009 walked around it. ... huge colossus

[Chaldon48]

Now it can probably be sold only on metal.

[cormorant]

There are so many minuses that talking about their use for flying over a burning forest is simply stupid. They can’t be poked for a more usual environment for an ekranoplan, but then put out the forest. The storyteller is this Georgy Antsev.

Not a storyteller, but an effective manager - he thinks about financing the enterprise entrusted to him and preserving (increasing) jobs.

[Monar]

Here I agree. Not even tens of meters for ekranoplanes from the ground and nifig in the smoke of a fire is not visible. Moreover, the very same Il-76 military couple come to extinguish. The second monitors the discharge and adjusts its course.
And ekroosleta generally controversial machine. It is no longer an ekranoplan, but not an airplane yet.
Modest IMHO. For our taiga only seaplanes. But, with previously flown rivers and lakes. What would all the navigation pads be.

[Grigory_45]

Quote: MooH

but there are ekranoleta that can go above the screen. Here, probably, we are talking about ekranolet

So, they hang noodles on our ears ((
ekranolet can not be more load-bearing aircraft in principle. His wings are not the same, and the structure is heavily weighted relative to the aircraft.
He will not take cargo more than IL-76 or Be-200.

[g1washntwn]

There are two questions to such a bandura: flight altitude and maneuverability. It is necessary to rise already by plane and the Caspian open spaces are far from all rivers.

"Oh, how many, we" wonderful projects are prepared by the dough sawers .... "

Three. The ascending (and descending) air flows are not even OVER the fire, but near it. Him overturn! A big fire is a pipe, in the center - everything is up, it sucks in air on the sides, and unevenly - the distance to the epicenter, relief, afforestation ... Tips over without options!

[Lipchanin]

Quote: RWMos

Overturn without options!

This is understood by the developers themselves. They need to draw attention to this car. Therefore, they declared the carrying capacity. The goal is to get money on the continuation of work on the topic that was conceived.

[Digital error]

Quote: g1washntwn

To such a bandura two questions at once

The most important question is different - how much will R&D financing, construction, testing, operation, depreciation, etc. cost? It is necessary not to extinguish fires that were utterly impossible, but to increase the number of foresters in the forests.

[To be or not to be]

Projects are good. But. This is a means of dealing with disaster. .with consequence .a not with REASON
Isn't it better to take measures to eliminate the causes of these fires
-to establish a system of forest management and its savings for Russia.

[yehat]

fires in the taiga are inevitable - it is very dry there.
you just need to debug a multi-stage fire control system.
It seems to me that within the framework of the Ministry of Emergencies, relying on UAVs and satellites, it is not difficult to create global monitoring.
only super-concentration of fire extinguishing means in the ministry is utter stupidity.
70% of the problem can be solved only at the local level - from fire ponds and buckets of sand to organizational structures.
never will any firefighter solve the problem by itself.

I don’t remember where and when they found out that the fragment of bottle glass became the cause of the fire. It worked like a lens, set fire to dry grass and a fire started

[K-612-O]

Reason # 1: citizens like you and me, who wanted to quickly cut down the dough for illegal logging, because to work honestly and pay taxes zapadlo, and then cover up the traces of the taiga.
I had seen enough of this in the Far East at the time, some are screwed, a month later new ones are drawn.

[PROXOR]

That confused me. The ekranoplan the most optimal destination is a lifeguard in the sea or ocean. We received the SOS signal, only a helicopter or plane is faster than it.

[yehat]

In terms of the amount of water discharged, one flight of the Rescuer will be equal to five flights of the Il-76 or 17 - of the Be-200 amphibious aircraft.

perhaps it’s more efficient not to carry water, but to blow off the flame with engines.

[Gray brother]

Quote: yehat

and blow the flames out with engines.

I propose to bomb fires with special power bombs. Nuacho? Oil wells are extinguished by blasting.

[yehat]

the wells do not just undermine, but create a ring charge, so that a toroidal cloud (bagel) is obtained, which extinguishes the well. I personally knew the people who created this technology.

[Gray brother]

Quote: yehat

create a ring charge

So there is a "fountain", not firewood burning. Trees can be swept to the sides, and the fountain beats continuously.

[gridasov]

Obviously, all the explosions have a radial propagation vector of the blast wave. Therefore, the technology of extinguishing wells is that oxygen is burned. And the blast wave changes the vector to the center. That is, it is a vacuum bomb. We need to think what technology to use to extinguish forest fires.

Baldezh in full.

[Grigory_45]

another dusting of the brain and the development of funds for the prodigy.
If it is logical to argue, the ekranoplan as a fire aircraft, as described in the article - is nonsense

The advantage of such an aircraft is its ability to take on board up to 200 tons of water, while the IL-76 lifts only 40 tons.

Yeah, that's just the ekranoplan with such a load will go at the height of the screen, and this is 10-15 meters. Where is he going to extinguish a fire from such a height? And whether he will approach him at all (the terrain, however, is not even, it is wooded and mountainous).
Wing? It seems like he can climb a few kilometers. BUT! Not with such a load. And with less load than an airplane. Why? Because the design is heavier, and because the wings are not optimized for flight. Those. ekranolet can not be more load-bearing aircraft in principle.

By the amount of water discharged, one flight of the "Rescuer" will be equal to five flights of the Il-76 or 17 - of the Be-200 amphibious aircraft

and how much fuel ekranoplan with its battery of engines will gobble up? Also for five IL-76? Somewhere like that. And what is the advantage?

In addition, who needs to dump 200 tons of water at a time ???

The article is designed for ardent enthusiasts of ekranoplanes - they should be, even if ineffective. Love is blind...

[Maxwrx]

Even the Be-200 is a very dubious aircraft, and here it is also shielded and ekranot. I count for money
IL-76 - carrying capacity of 40 tons (?) like IL-76MD-90A 60T, the cost of 5 billion rubles, more versatile, can be used for military purposes
Be-200 with a loading capacity of 5 tons, the price in 2013 was 1,3 billion, now I think about 1,6-1,7
Mi-8 with a carrying capacity of 4 tons, the price in 2013 is 250 million, well, let it be 300 million now, but it has less speed, but it can discharge water more accurately and use a much larger number of reservoirs compared to any amphibians. More versatile, can be used for military purposes, do not need an airfield.
It turns out that it is more profitable to use the IL-76 and MI-8 for the price / efficiency ratio

In Russia, developed projects of heavy ekranoplanes to fight fires

News from the category. Clean neighing. Well, such a "fool" and over the forest! Plus the smoke from the fire, and this bullshit will tumble down the forest itself. I propose to tie this "genius of thought" Antsev to a pine tree and let the ekranoplan fly over it a couple of times

[Vadim237]

Now, if he and Beriev began to work on a Be 2500 1000 WIG seaplane, it would be a breakthrough - in transport aviation, aircraft building, engine building and fire fighting, all the same XNUMX tons of payload is a good argument for fighting a riding fire

You know, such news evokes the idea that in Russia you still need to change something (POWER)! Notice as soon as the taiga caught fire, as here - effective managers jumped out of the gateway, with a proposal to master
No, you bastards do ekranoplanes, but sell ON THE WORLD MARKET

[Pete Borisitch]

Jet aircraft for entertainment which, for fire-fighting needs ........

[Vadim237]

There is also a project of an integrated circuit cargo aircraft "

Killer Whale "with a carrying capacity of 250 tons.

Honestly, I have not yet met so much stupidity in a single topic! And comments are generally not amenable to any logic!

[Dechterev]

it remains only to create a plan to save the ekranoplanes during an emergency.

[Catfish]

Have you decided to revive the "Monster of the Caspian Sea"? Finally got it? Well, better late than never fucking these strategists.

[Indifferent]

Preparing another cut dough! Wormholes in the forest, but with smoke, and even in the mountains do not fly. And if they fly then until the first hill no further ...

[Candidate of Military Sciences]

The most effective and most needed project for the country now !! ... I am only worried about the situation when immediately "heavy". .. There is a high probability of problems, but you really need to take risks !! The projects of heavy peaceful ekranoplanes are the last thing that Rostislav Alekseev managed to do before his death. He saw the perspective just like that and tried to be in time, at least in paper and layouts, to convey this vision to people ...
---------------------------------
Dear members of the Government of the Russian Federation, Comrade President of the Russian Federation, I ask you to pay attention and support initiatives in the development of this area. Strategically, it is now the most important for our country. You will find confirmation of my words in the writings of designer Rostislav Alekseev.
At one time, an unacceptable mistake in assessing the capabilities of this type of transport led to an unequivocal loss of the strategic superiority of our state - ekranoplanes "Lun" and "Eaglet" were lost for our country along with the capabilities they gave the Army and the Navy.
But the designer Rostislav Alekseev did not betray the work he had begun, nor our country - he continued to develop the chosen direction in difficult conditions.
What this man, a true engineer, citizen and patriot managed to do during his lifetime, is ahead of time so far!
There is every reason to believe that the implementation of his plans will give a completely different quality to domestic transport technologies, which will be ahead of the leading countries of the world in terms of technical and economic indicators for a long time, which will have a positive effect not only in technology and economics.
Please consider supporting this area, promoting its development and speedy implementation.

How will he extinguish the taiga if his flight altitude is not more than 5 meters? And maneuverability is not so good. Bluff.
